Original Report 11/1: As the calendar changes to November, stations across the country have begun to make the move to Christmas music for the holiday season.

Norfolk, VA and Louisville have already seen two stations in their markets make the move today. In Norfolk, Entercom AC “The New 101.3” WWDE flipped at midnight and was joined by Clear Channel Rhythmic AC “Movin 107.7” WMOV-FM at 6am. In Louisville, Summit Media AC “Lite 106.9” WVEZ Louisville flipped at 9am and was joined by Clear Channel 90s Hits “Gen X Radio 100.5” WLGX in the afternoon.

CBS has launched All-Christmas on WWFS-HD2 New York and WODS-HD3 Boston

These stations join “Santa 100.9” K265CA Albuquerque which launched on August 31, and “Holly-FM” 103.9 WNDR Syracuse, “Easy 93.1” WEZW Wildwood NJ, 104.9 KYXE Yakima WA, “92.1 The Coast” WLTQ Sarasota and 1290 WZTI Milwaukee which made the move to Christmas music at various times in October.

Buffalo’s WJYE-96.1 also flipped; according to Tune Genie.com, they did so at 1:47 P.M. EDT this afternoon (November 2nd); just a few hours after WTSS did (WTSS did so at 8 A.M. EDT today).

Had WTSS flipped on a weekday; WJYE may have responded sooner and might have gone within minutes. Maybe someone tipped-off the WJYE program director, who was probably not at work, and the PD gave the go-ahead to switch.

Additionally, Burlington, Vermont’s WEZF-92.9 has posted a countdown on their homepage indicating that they will go all-Christmas at 6 A.M. Eastern Standard Time on November 22nd.

Although it’s unlikely that anyone else in the HGurlington/Plattsburgh market will go all-Christmas (WEZF usually has the field to itself), should someone flip before that, WEZF will go sooner.
